Obama's October Surprise Fizzled ... J. D. Longstreet

Days ago we told our readers of reports that the Obama administration
was in secret back-channel negotiations with Iran to try to convince
Iran to temporarily discontinue their nuclear fuel enrichment program.
This would allow the Obama team to boast that THEY had been able to make a "deal" with Iran to discontinue their endeavor for a nuclear weapon.

In
turn, the sanctions on Iran would be lessened, or dropped altogether.
That was unclear at the time and remains so at this writing.

Of course, the Obama team emphatically denied such back-channel negotiations were going on. But, frankly, they lie so often that we simply didn't believe them.

On Monday, October 22nd, Obama meets Romney for their final
debate before the election. This debate will be on the topic "foreign
policy."

If it is even possible, Obama is in even worse shape on foreign policy than he is on the economy here at home. He badly needs something to bring to the table for that debate Monday.

All
the previous weekend, I waited for news to break that a drone attack
has killed the perpetrators of the Libyan consulate murders, but as of
this writing -- nothing. Barring that, I had expected the story of the
direct talks with Iran would break. It did.

If you
read the entire article from the New York Times link we supplied above
you will learn there is a bit of a problem for the Obama Team so far as
the results of the talks is concerned. It seems the Iranians want
to wait until AFTER the election and talk THEN to whomever the
President is AFTER January 20th, 2013! Slick, huh?

Actually,
there is another problem with the outcome of those talks, so far. It
would seem Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, has not
agreed to any of this. We can't confirm, nor deny, what Khamenei has,
or has not, agreed to, if anything.

This
whole thing seems about to blow up in Obama's face, anyway. So the
Obama Team is denying it ever happened -- or IS happening. They have spun such a web of lies that it is just impossible to take them seriously, anymore.

What
is, however, becoming clear, little by little, is that the American
electorate is fed up with their treatment by the Obama administration.
Obama's condescension toward the American proletariat has finally
turned on him and he now senses the bitterness the Americans feel
toward him and his cadre of socialist/communist minions.

Over
the past few weeks, millions of Americans have had the scales fall from
their eyes as they have seen what an "empty suit" Obama really is.

When
he walked onto the stage of the first debate confident that his
silkened voice and golden tonsils would decimate Mr. Romney, and wipe
clear of his path all before him, it became clear that he was a
narcissistic man, stuck on himself, supremely confident in his own
ability to conquer all, and -- totally WRONG!He became instantly transparent to the masses and only those who would not allow themselves to see the did not see it.
There
is a reason the old snake oil salesmen of an earlier era never visited
the same market twice. They had been "seen through." Today we say they
have become transparent -- you know, like Obama.

Only
amateurs would not have foreseen a blow-back from the secret Iranian
talks. Only amateurs would not have considered the high probability
that the Iranians would use any direct talks as a stalling tactic to
allow them time to continue -- and possibly complete -- their efforts at
acquiring an atomic bomb while, at the same time, forestalling Israel from bombing them back to the stone age.

Only
amateurs believe there can be meaningful negotiations with a bunch of
fanatics pumped-up by religious zeal who are intent on destroying the
world, as we know it, and reshaping it as an Islamic Caliphate (Kingdom)
where Shariah Law prevails globally.

It is one thing to
negotiate with sane people -- quite another to try to negotiate with
religious zealots out to slit your throat -- and the throats of your
family -- all because you will not submit to THEIR god.

There
is still a week and a half to go before the month of October is past.
There is still time for Obama to pull a rabbit out of his hat. But, I
now believe the time has past for the American electorate to see an
October surprise as anything other than a cheap political trick,
unworthy of the Office of the President of the United States.
